Nebraska football, incoming five-star Dylan Raiola and the rest of Matt Rhule's signal callers will soon have a new voice leading the room: Inside Nebraska sources have confirmed that the Huskers are hiring Glenn Thomas to be their new quarterbacks coach.

Nebraska offensive coordinator Marcus Satterfield, who also served as the Huskers' QBs coach over the past year, will remain at OC but shift over to be the team's tight ends coach. The news was first reported by ESPN's Pete Thamel.

Thomas will be departing the NFL to take on his new role at Nebraska, leaving his role as a Pittsburgh Steelers offensive assistant as he helped the Steelers make a push into the playoffs that ended in a 31-17 loss to the Buffalo Bills in Monday's wild card round.

Why would anybody hire someone associated with the Steelers offense?

It's going.  Life gets busy as kids get older.   But overall, not bad.  How about you?

THIS WEEK IN HUSKER HISTORY
The week of Jan. 19-25, looking back in five-year intervals

1949: Nebraska coach George “Potsy” Clark’s allegation that a West Coast school “paid $7,000 for a quarterback” ruffles some feathers at Washington.

1954: Even after coach Bill Glassford staves off attempts to oust him from his job, allegations arise that injured players were routinely administered novocaine to keep them on the field.

1984: Mike Rozier denies reports that he signed a pro contract before his final college game. Tom Osborne, meanwhile, is third in balloting for the FWAA coach of the year award, which goes to Miami's Howard Schnellenberger.

1989: Tom Rathman's play at fullback is credited with giving the Super Bowl-bound San Francisco 49ers a new dimension on offense. He and Roger Craig combine for more than 200 yards rushing and receiving in the 20-16 win over Cincinnati.

2004: New coach Bill Callahan says he intends to reduce the number of walk-ons: "We have 170 players on the roster, I believe, and I want to get down to a functional number, where I can manage the team on a basis where each player can maximize their repetitions."
